About the project

ESC: Let's volunteer in La ferme du FAÏ!

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) is a national movement of non-formal education and is composed of a National Secretary (Paris), and eight regional delegations across France. Our delegations host international volunteers throughout the year. All of the activities organized benefit the local community and share common ground: - gather people from different culture and social background to participate in social, ecological and cultural development. - contribute to the integration of people with fewer opportunities. Each project is dedicated to actions of solidarity and collective living. We believe that cultural exchanges are a key for personal learning and for the volunteer to experiment and undergo personal development. You will find all the information about our available projects and application process in this page : https://www.solidaritesjeunesses.org/volunteeringinfrance

🏠 Accommodation on site

La Ferme du Faï is located in Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur, in the Alps mountains (South-East of France). The farm is located at an altitude of 1000 meters in a valley, 3,4 kms away from the small village of LE SAIX. The 4 buildings of Le Faï are in the middle of nature, in a very rural area. The place is surrounded by a well-preserved environment, composed of forests and mountain rivers. There’s also on site an open air theater, a traditional oven to bake bread and pizzas, a wood and masonry workshop and gigantic trumps! As a volunteer, you will share your daily life with other volunteers!

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
